Shackled City (Pathfinder) - GM_Chris

Game Master Chris Shannon 719

This will be the Shackled City adventure path using the Pathfinder rule set. However, the existing deities (i.e. St. Cuthbert, Pelor, Wee Jas) will not be converted to similar Golarion gods.

Uh, mostly. Some of us are sleeping in Vhalantru's lair both for our own safety and to better tend to the statues and the clues. Dyrant really wants to triage/prioritize the fixing of the statues as they might have information that will help the cause. Both he and Atol will be breaking enchantment, but we have limited slots for that.

Dyrant will be going to Greyhwak soon, that is correct, but it remains to be seen who goes with him.

Not sure who is going to Skies.

That sounds right to me. If we could afford two scrolls of greater teleport, that would be even better, in terms of roleplaying the kind of urgency that some of us feel. For Toffitt, at least, every minute seems agonizingly slow right now. But of course that must be balanced against being well prepared.

Glimmil will chip in a Break Enchantment after resting/praying, as needed, too!

He'd also like to make the trip to Greyhawk to see the gnomes there, but can also be on "guard Vhalantru's lair duty" if requested.


Male Human (Per +7 | Fort +17 Ref +13 Will +22 | AC 29 (f28/t15) | CMD 22)

Atol stays with Dyrant until the Greyhawk trip. He'll stay behind so Glimmil can go.

Question. Does Dispel Magic help here at all? Do we know what the painting is going to take? Or is it all Break Enchantment and Stone to Flesh? Just trying to plan my spells.

Also, as there's been a hiatus, I wanted to make sure Atol's trip to the church (link) doesn't get lost. Er, unless it's supposed to. :)


Break enchantment and dispel magic won't working on the painting. See earlier post.

Did anyone want to take the ioun stone (pink rhomboid, +2 Dex)? Seems like a great item for one of our melee combatants. Or maybe Aralynn would like a sphere orbiting around her magnificence.

Also, Toffitt's slippers of spider climb.


In class all day yesterday and today. I'll have up more by tonight.

I am a little unclear about the timing that folks are suggesting. Here is my understanding:

Day of Beholder Slaughter
- Go to Skie's to sell stuff
- Toffitt makes everyone panic. Er, I mean, Toffitt talks to certain leaders about evacuation
- Finn returns to temple and finds children
- Glim and Skie make whoopie, perhaps for the last time

Day After Beholder
- destoning
- Glim and Dyrant teleport to Greyhawk and shop
- Toffitt does more rabble rousing
- Atol does a sending and guards the Vhalantru manor
- Glim and Dyrant teleport back
- In Toffitt's ideal situation, the party sets out to Find the Path (any chance we could have bought scrolls of greater teleport to make this happen?)

Two days after beholder
- Or perhaps the party sets out this morning, Toffitt's hoped-for invulnerability greatly tested by panic attacks about Terrem's impending death.

What are other folks' understanding?


Male Human (Per +7 | Fort +17 Ref +13 Will +22 | AC 29 (f28/t15) | CMD 22)

Day of Beholder
Atol guards Vhalantru's manor when he's not visiting his church. He sleeps in the manor that night with Dyrant I think.

Day After Beholder
Atol breaks two enchantments and chats with the victims.
He continues to guard Vhalantru's manor

I thought Dyrant was returning this afternoon, but according to his post, he's not. IF he's not, Atol will scribe scrolls for Dyrant at Vhalantru's manor that day while he waits.

Two days after Beholder
I'll have to do a post with fresh spells, etc. if we are not buying the scroll of greater teleport, but Atol's ready for whatever.

- - -

Scrolls Scribed for Dyrant (if no gr. teleport scroll purchased):
- Air Bubble (1) (12.5gp)
- Breath of Life (9) (562.5gp)
- Magic Circle Against Evil (5) (187.5gp)
- Remove Curse (5) (187.5gp)
(950gp)


M Steinneblin (Rock Gnome) Paladin 16/Cavalier 1

I'm fine with teleporting there and back the same day. If Dyrant doesn't have enough Greater Teleport, I suppose he could always Teleport-hop back through an intermediary city?

This is where I have you. I'm going to bring everyone back together. It was fun exploring options, but I need to consolidate again.

The only suggested edit I would have for this is Dyrant and Glim return on day 2, not Day 1.

But fine with going forward as needed.


Day 2 is fine actually. I didn't keep quite the pace I expected. I was going to skip the meeting, but then kept it.

And yes, you're all invited to the meeting.

You're right, GM Gristle: Atol for Mayor.

Sorry for the delays. Haven't had time to craft the scene. Lots of people that I know you're going to expect me to have personalities for.

Ayep.

I just want comments on the hats. Me and Atol are like the Cuthbertine Blues Brothers, yo.

"We're on a mission from Gahd."


Well, heck. This is not working out. Trying to find time and energy for a big scene is not working. Instead, I think I'll take the mustard seed approach and see what it grows into.

I say take the easy route. At 14th level, it's gotta be hard enough just to juggle all of our abilities and the increasingly complex monsters. I'm sure Dyrant and Finn can keep us all entertained just talking to their various selves. :-) I for one feel no need to speak to every last snooty aristocrat.

M Steinneblin (Rock Gnome) Paladin 16/Cavalier 1

Heads up that I'll be out of town this coming weekend!


I will, too, but will keep moving things along slowly by phone--so much different than now...At least we're moving again. One more shooting board out of the way. My brain should be a little less fried now.


I sense that people are enjoying the mayoral selection scene, but not overly invested in its outcome. There's no preordained result, so if the party would enjoy seeing someone in particular taking the position, they should push for it now. If not, I'm going to start wrapping up the scene and choosing a mayor one way or another, possibly by the dreaded die roller.

No, Dyrant isn't interested in running the City...he would have no patience for meetings and there would be far too many drubbings of lords and lordesses. Plus, I'm fairly sure there would be some 'accidental' walls of fires and such during important events just to spice things up.

Now, if Jenya wanted to step up (down?) to Mayor and leave the running of the Church to someone more qualified...

He would also support a Dr. Toffitt administration. The good doc has always been a man of the people. The mummy people.

Toffitt would institute single-payer healthcare. By which I mean, Taskerhill would be paying for everyone's healthcare.


Male Human (Per +7 | Fort +17 Ref +13 Will +22 | AC 29 (f28/t15) | CMD 22)

Atol is going to run on the scone platform.

OK, I'm kidding of course. I'm fine with whatever happens. Atol is just hanging in the corner looking uncomfortable and a little lost.


M Steinneblin (Rock Gnome) Paladin 16/Cavalier 1

Glimmil has a plan. And it's been posted.

Glimmil votes for a leadership team with Taskerhill, Ellywinkle, Skie and a member of the Cauldron Five... because... classic. I think Atol would make for the best roleplay among them, but maybe Dyrant...

I would amend that to include Jenya and perhaps Maavu. My sense is that the party in game time can't work through all of the negotiations of building a government, and we could spend about two years roleplaying out such arrangements...

I was tempted by KublaCon this year - but have tickets for Book of Mormon that weekend that we booked a LONG time in advance.


I've wanted to see that, but keep forgetting. We're seeing Napoli this weekend.

GM_Chris, I need a ruling please.

If by some chance, someone, were to die due to the Deadly Finish feat (link) - could that person be saved with Breath of Life (link)? Dr. Toffitt thinks not, and I have no strong opinion. I can see it going either way though I lean toward it working if I had to make the ruling (I don't see the feat as a 'death effect').

I though, you know just in case, I'd ask now. Regardless of your answer Atol would try it of course. He has no idea they are attacking with a rare feat that kills outright. Glimmil might make this moot, but it may come up again.


I thought briefly about it when I picked the feat and without thinking too deeply about it decided I was going to allow breath of life. So, I wouldn't argue the point at a convention, but you're good here.


Here are the mechanics for the current events. The city is divided into 5 sections. There's a lakeside section and then the four pie slices: NW, NE, SE, and SW. The party is currently in the NW section. The party must earn points in all five sections through evacuations, problem solving, combat, etc.
